Our Precious Nathan

Hi you guys. Well, we went yesterday to talk to the cardiologist and the team that will be delivering my grandbaby Nathan and taking care of him. The meeting did not go as well as I wanted it to. We were quite overwhelmed at everything they were telling us, because now we know more and what our precious little one will have to go through, unless God sees fit otherwise. When Nathan is born, they will have to do a heart catheterization to see exactly what they will have to do. We know there will be a surgery to put a shunt in about 2 days after he is born. The main problem that they see is (of course I don't know all the techinical terms) the fourth chamber of the heart has blood flowing in but there is nowhere to flow out into the lungs. Right now his momma his supplying everything he needs so he is safe. But the moment he is born they will have to give him medicine to keep something open in his heart till they can do the surgery to treat it. They say its not fixable but treatable. I am very happy about that. According to what they find he could have 1-2 surgeries more until the age of 3 to correct everything. He may also have to take medicines the rest of his life. I can live with anything they may have to do, I just want him to come home. The doctor gives an 80% chance of everything being ok. Its not 100% but its a lot. All this information was so overwhelming for all of us, but we know we are so blessed and we expect a blessing from this also. I ask for all your prayers that our precious little one will be totally healed, of course I'm expecting a miracle, or that whatever God's will is will be done and we bring our little one home. We will have to go to Birmingham for the delivery and they will do the surgery there too. We live in Mobile, so thats a little out of our comfort zone. I am so looking forward to my grandson getting here and I know this will be a blessing from day one. Thanks for listening, and I will keep you updated. Debbie
